The Most Amazing Golf Courses of the World: Golf de Andratx, Mallorca (Tips From The Pros)

admin — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 22:23:19 +0000

http://janson.com Centred between the mountains and the Bay of Port Andratx the team of architects of the Gleneagles Golf Course under the leadership of David Kidd has designed one of the most attractive Golf Courses in Mallorca – the “Golf de Andratx” (pronounced “andrash”!). Varied paths with numerous bunkers and water hazards as well as the typical Majorcan natural stone walls present the golfer with a sporting challenge but also reward him with stunning views on to the sea. The course was opened in 1999 and has since become a centre of attraction for many famous people staying on the island. One main reason for this has to be the luxury hotel Dorint Royal Golf Resort & Spa which is part of the golf course. This combination beyond doubt culminates in a veritable royal stay.

***FAIR USE***
Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107

A Political Remix Video by Desiree D’Alessandro

As part of the Political Remix Video genre that postures itself as Fair-Use in accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107, Desiree D’Alessandro addresses the looming environmental crisis of worldwide water shortage that is destroying the earth and leaving the poor without access to a common life-sustaining resource. With clips appropriated from scientists, politicians, news broadcastings, and popular media, D’Alessandro explores and aims to expose how corporations are maneuvering to convert this critical world resource into a profitable commodity – namely in the form of golf courses. Currently, there are over 32,000 golf courses worldwide, over 17,000 in the US, and approximately 1,137 public and private golf courses are located in California as amongst the leading golf course-congested states in the US. Reports from UN estimate that Golf Courses consume a staggering 2.5 billion gallons/9.5 billion liters of water DAILY. This remix video aims to facilitate contemplation and recognition of this global crisis via the viral media platform of YouTube.
